i didnt get a chance to yet, but i unhooked the vac line and i took the wire wrapped it on the one side on the arm piviot area, and on the other side near the wastegate to hold it so the arm cant turn , to hold it shut

I would also love some pics if anyone has them. If I had my car sitting in front of me as I read this I could probably see what you are saying though.

cnstman-The shop I ordered the set up front contacted slowboy prior to me ordering to confirm that it would fit and slowboy said no problem. I wanted to double check so I contacted slowboy myself and asked if the TXS dp would have a problem and they said that there shouldnt be any problems at all. Needless to say I will still let ya know next week when I put it on. I'll take some pics also and post them.

Here's a few pics, but if there's something specific you wants pictures of let me know...

pt518sti · 08-28-2006, 08:12 PM

^^^ the "bottom nipple" that we were saying to run the vac line straight to on the EWG in order to run just wastegate boost is the one you can't see in the pics.

I'm pulling the car into the shop right now. Slowboy took 5 weeks to get my uppipe here. But its all going down today. Any pointers let me know. I'll check back in a bit.

Pray for no leaks

That's about the best advice you can get

STIfreak7 · 10-04-2006, 10:52 AM

In the post about the restritor pill in the vacuum line from the stock iwg. It this the hard feeling piece right before the line from the stock solenoid gets to the "T". The T then splits to the intake side of the turbo and to the IWG. SO is this the pill I remove. Do I just run all new vacuum lines going to the same places except with the EWG now instead of IWG.

STIfreak7 · 10-04-2006, 04:53 PM

Well I figured out the vacuum line problem. But ran into PLENTY of others.

The new uppipe (modified Invidia by Slowboy) fit great and went in easier than I thought. Then when I went to put the EWG onto the uppipe some how, I dont know how it happened, but one of the bolts went in crooked. I started it like half way in by hand. ????? So yeah taking that bolt back out it broke off. Before the bolt broke I decided to test fit the dump toob and down pipe. Well the dump tube rubs the r/f CV boot right on top of the inner clamp, and It doesnt bend down sharp enough after the CV boot to allow the down pipe to be installed. So my car is sitting in my bay at work and I drove a loaner car home. Tomorrow I will cut the bolt off flush then drill and tap the hole. HOPE and PRAY it goes well. Then use the hot wrench to heat up the dump tube and "custom" fit it to go in.

I had thought it would be the waste gate itself that cause fitment issues but it doesnt appear that it will. Its the stupid dump tube that dont fit. I will try and get some pics also.

Hey sorry to take so long to get some pics up. They arent really step by step for an install write up, just a few I snaped when working. I dont have one of the dump tube for the EWG, but I'll try and get one this week.

I had to have a shop make me a new dump tube, the slow boy one was never going to fit. But its all done now and works great.
I put the CF heat shield on too, one it looks good and two the exhaust started turning the bumper yellow.
The TWS DP barely didnt fit. I took a sharpy and marked the DP holding in place then took it back out and used a dead blow to make a small dent.

Savagepike · 11-23-2006, 10:17 AM

Any update on how your setup is doing? How's the EWG?

I love it, its working great so far. Had it on for about 1K miles and no CEL, using the Perrin electronic CEL fix. Now I am trying to figure out how to get an V2 AP to work with it, or if I need an AP and a separate boost controller.

this may be a dumb question...but if you welded the internal shut and added an external, what different expet the awsome noise? They both have the same function dont they
